I just don't see the angst here. Seems like people here are just desperate for a Flames trade, even if it's not a good one.

the angst is probably from the notion, rightly or wrongly, that Hoffman was there for the plucking and Calgary didn't land him, but our rivals did...
not a lot of faith that BT is going to be able to execute a trade to increase the skill in the top six and Hoffman was one of the few guys known to be available
personally, before the incident, i wanted calgary to trade for Hoffman... after, i wasn't 100% sure... still doesn't feel great when your rival is getting better and you are not, esp since one was already a playoff team and the other wasn't
